Remember kids, just because Overlord shows black men in us army fighting units next to white folks, doesn't mean that ever happened in real life.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt signs the GI Bill into law, June 22, 1944.
Allied forces had only recently landed on D-Day but plans were already underway to help the returning heroes readjust to civilian life. The bill included programs to pay for education, housing, and unemployment benefits. The government program was a major contributor to the rapid growth of the middle class and three decades of economic growth in the U.S. Of course, due to the ongoing policies of racial segregation in education and redlining in housing, these benefits accrued largely to white Americans.

Wie die Bildungspolitik der AfD in die Hände spielt

Die AfD will die Schulen in Thüringen von dem „Ideologieprojekt“ Inklusion befreien. In Sachsen-Anhalt will die AfD inklusive Bildung „unverzüglich“ beenden. Die etablierte Bildungspolitik in den Ländern und im Bund hat ihren Anteil daran. Ein Kommentar.

"There seems to be a pattern emerging here, and it becomes increasingly difficult to dismiss it the more you pay attention. It goes like this: A non-white artist breaks into mainstream-music consciousness by delivering a critically acclaimed project and looks likely to win a Grammy in a major category. Soon after, a new category is announced by the Recording Academy to help segregate these artists."
